Answer:

The area of this triangle would be 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to first determine what to use as the base of the triangle. Since when we draw it, the line between G and H is a flat line, it is the easiest to use as a base. Finding the length of the base is easy because we are simply looking for the difference in the x values.

6 - -2 = 8 = base

Now that we have the base, we need to find the height. The height is always the perpendicular line from the 3rd point to the base line. In this case, this would just be the change in y from the other two.

5 - -1 = 6 = height

Now that we have those two distances, we can just use the triangle formula.

A = 1/2bh

A = 1/2(8)(6)

A = 24

C. "David's equation is correct, because their spending will be multiplied by the number of months and then subtracted from their savings"

they are technically saying "Look we have 12,350 to use. How long (y) will the savings (12,350) last after using 240 each month (x)
so the amount they use *PER* month gets subtracted from the savings because they are using that money to pay with

Hope this helps :)

Eboni ran the perimeter of the basketball court twice. The court is a rectangle with the dimension of 28 3/4 meters and 15 1/4 m

atroni [7]

If you add 28 3/4 and 15 1/4 that is half way around The court that is 44m
So all the way around would be 44m×2= 88m
And he went around twice so 88m×2=176m

Which of the following is a subset of {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}?

MakcuM [25]

In mathematics, a set A is a subset of a set B, or equivalently B is a superset of A, if A is "contained" inside B. I belive the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. It is the set {5, 6, 7} that is a subset of <span> {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}. Hope this answers the question</span>
